What it computes
Compute the Sokal 1984 relative-risk index for newly diagnosed untreated chronic granulocytic leukemia from age, spleen size below the costal margin, platelet count, and percent circulating blasts, with the paper’s three groups.
When to use
When an agent needs the published Sokal 1984 index and must not invent later CML scores, diagnose CML, or choose TKI therapy.
When not to use
- Not a medical device. magent does not diagnose CML.
- Sokal 1984 applies to newly diagnosed untreated chronic granulocytic leukemia (CML) only.
- Does not choose TKI therapy or any other treatment.
Formula
sokal_index = exp(0.0116 * (age - 43.4) + 0.0345 * (spleen_cm - 7.51) + 0.188 * ((platelets_10e9_l / 700) ^ 2 - 0.563) + 0.0887 * (blasts_percent - 2.10))

Worked example
Age 50, spleen 10 cm, platelets 350 ×10⁹/L, blasts 2%
Given:
age=50blasts_percent=2platelets_10e9_l=350spleen_cm=10
- 0.0116 × (50 − 43.4) = 0.07656
- 0.0345 × (10 − 7.51) = 0.085905
- 0.188 × ((350 / 700) ^ 2 − 0.563) = 0.188 × (0.25 − 0.563) = −0.058844
- 0.0887 × (2 − 2.10) = −0.00887
- sokal_index = exp(0.094751) ≈ 1.10
- 0.8 ≤ 1.10 ≤ 1.2 → intermediate
Age 40, spleen 5 cm, platelets 250 ×10⁹/L, blasts 1%
Given:
age=40blasts_percent=1platelets_10e9_l=250spleen_cm=5
- sokal_index ≈ 0.74
- 0.74 < 0.8 → low
Age 60, spleen 15 cm, platelets 700 ×10⁹/L, blasts 5%
Given:
age=60blasts_percent=5platelets_10e9_l=700spleen_cm=15
- sokal_index ≈ 2.20
- 2.20 > 1.2 → high

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
age |
integer | required | Age in years (integer 1-120). Sokal 1984 CML index; not the adult 18-120 clamp. |
spleen_cm |
number | required | Spleen size in cm below the costal margin (0-40). Sokal 1984. |
platelets_10e9_l |
number | required | Platelet count ×10⁹/L (1-5000). Sokal 1984; CML counts may exceed 2000. |
blasts_percent |
number | required | Circulating blasts as a percent of leukocytes (0-100). Sokal 1984. |
Bulk (POST)
POST the same path with a JSON items array. The first item is the GET unit; each additional item is $0.002. Invalid items return HTTP 400 before settlement.
- 1 to 25 items. Each item uses the same keys as the GET query parameters.
- POST of 1 item costs the same as GET. Lists longer than 25: chunk into multiple POSTs. Extra items still execute; do not pad dummy rows.
- The first invalid item fails the whole request (index in the 400 JSON). You are not charged.
- HTTP 200 is {count, path, items}. Each items[i] is the GET 200 body for that row.
- Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) stay paid 200s inside that slot.
- x402 resource URL is this path plus n and body_sha256. Browsers that prefer text/html get the same paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with the same items.
Example request (fixture)

Opens a two-item fixture on the API host. Unpaid browsers get the same MetaMask paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with those items.

Payment
Unpaid requests return HTTP 402 even if query parameters or POST items are missing or invalid, so CDP and agents can index the path. After a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid params return HTTP 400 JSON before settlement. magent does not charge. Fix the params, then request a new 402 quote for that complete URL. Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) are valid paid 200s. Unpaid valid requests return HTTP 402 with a base64
PAYMENT-REQUIRED
header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Full handshake
and shared payment errors: Payments.
Stdio MCP: /docs/mcp.
Guarantees
- HTTP 402 is unpaid, including a missing query. After PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged.
- exact: settlement finishes before the tool (paymentFlow upfront). batch-settlement: verify/deposit before the tool; chargedCumulativeAmount commits after HTTP 2xx. Uncertain or failed settlement fails closed (HTTP 503). Retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
- HTTP 402 is unpaid only. Do not sign a second authorization because of a 503.
- Execution is timeout-bounded and concurrency-capped.
- Calculator inputs are stored encrypted for allowlisted operators (Magent Console). They are not in public logs, SSH lookups, catalog, or rollups. Request logs store path without query.
